evidence for vitamin b12

Our honest take

A methylcobalamin B12 mouth spray from Osavi, cheaper than most branded B12 sprays. B12 is worth supplementing if you are vegan, older, or take metformin or acid-reducing medicines. Sprays are handy if you dislike tablets, but there is no good evidence they work better than a swallowed tablet, which usually costs less per day. We could not verify the dose per spray or doses per bottle, so check the label.

You are vegan and want a B12 source you do not have to swallow
You want a lower-cost alternative to big-brand B12 sprays
You are happy with tablets: a B12 tablet is usually cheaper per day
You eat animal foods regularly and have no absorption problems
You have numbness, tingling or unexplained tiredness: see your GP for a blood test first

The science

Vitamin B12· evidence: Strong

Vitamin B12 is needed to make red blood cells and keep the nervous system working. It is found almost only in animal foods (meat, fish, eggs, dairy) and fortified foods, so vegans need a reliable source from fortified foods or a supplement. Older adults and people taking metformin or acid-reducing medicines absorb less B12 from food.

For these groups, B12 supplements are well proven to raise B12 levels and prevent deficiency. If you already eat animal foods and absorb B12 normally, extra B12 has not been shown to boost energy.

The body absorbs only a small share of a large oral dose, which is why many products use 500 to 1,000 µg. Methylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin and other forms all work; there is no good evidence that one form is better for most people. Pernicious anaemia and other absorption problems need a diagnosis and usually injections from your GP.

Authorised health claim
Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B12 has a role in the process of cell division. (Applies where a daily dose gives at least 15% of the NRV, i.e. 0.375 µg.)

Typical dose: Adults need about 1.5 µg a day (NRV on labels: 2.5 µg). Vegans: at least 10 µg a day or 2,000 µg a week (Vegan Society guidance). Supplements commonly give 10 to 1,000 µg.

Safety: No upper limit has been set because B12 has very low toxicity; the UK Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals considered 2,000 µg a day from supplements unlikely to cause harm. Do not self-treat numbness, tingling, a sore tongue or unexplained tiredness: see your GP, as these can be signs of deficiency or pernicious anaemia that needs proper testing. Tell your doctor you take B12 before blood tests, as it raises your B12 result.
